Rambling Around Calgary

So, a few days ago, a beautiful and talented woman asked me what I was working on creatively. I was embarrassed by the answer, and it was only made worse because she was super hot and better at art then me. Basically, if you’re reading this, you know I’ve done nothing in months, and very little all year long.

I’ve got to change that, and that’s going to take some concerted effort. Basically, I’m going to regularly need to make sure I keep writing. I may make a couple of changes around here to make sure that happens. I’m also going to need to look after my other stuff, like my deviant art page. I might make some formatting changes to my blog.

One of the things I noticed is I’ve become a little insecure about the things I like. I watch a lot of fantastical movies and tv shows, and read books where extraordinary things happen, but I don’t want to write about that. I need to figure out how to let that go. If I read Game of Thrones, then there’s nothing wrong with writing fantasy. When I watch Supernatural, even in to Season 7, where it gets next to unwatchable, why can’t I write some horror stories.

Although, something I might start doing more of is scenes from songs. I get a lot of strong imagery in my mind’s eye when I listen to music. I’m going to write more of those.

Basically, I don’t care what you think. Unless you’re a beautiful and talented woman, then I care that you think I make good art. The most important lesson I learned from my Creative Writing Professor in University is that the point of art is impressing cute girls on the off chance it will get you laid.
